oats have two issues:

1. most of them are contaminated - you can google for 'gluten free oats' to find ones that are produced in fields that aren't rotated with wheat and processed in facilities that aren't shared, but that doesn't affect number 2...

2. as the oat protein, avenin, is similar to the wheat protein, gliadin, about 10% of celiacs react to oats as well.

In addition to the gifts of nature, Bob's Red Mill just came out with certified Gluten-Free Oats in September. They have rolled and steel cut. You can order them from their website or ask your local health food store to order them for you.

The gluten free oats co. in Powell, Wy

Cream Hill Estates from Canada

Bob's Red Mill

Only Oats---- this one has quick oats also.

These are the four that carries gluten-free oats. Be careful with oats. Start out very slowly as some people have reactions to them. I've been eating gluten-free oats for several years now but I still only eat 1/2 cup at a time.

I've just ordered the quick oats for cookies & such. Quick oats are smaller & steamed so they are not hard , much better for baking. You can use the gluten-free regular oats or the steel cut (coarser yet) & use a food processor to make them less coarse but be careful not to get to small or you have oat flour!!!!

I never thought I would say I missed oats...... I'm thankful I don't react to them....

I bought some rolled oats by Bob's Red Mill at Whole Foods, which we haven't tried yet. But they don't say gluten-free on them. Are they not safe? :( I was worried that they were too cheap to be gluten-free... I am going to be so annoyed...

Edit-- Well I went to Bob's Red Mill's website and checked things out, and then looked at my bag of oats, and they don't have the slash over the wheat stalk... So my oats are not gluten-free. I am glad we haven't tried them yet, but I am so disappointed... I wanted to make No Bake Cookies!!!

That's a great idea! I'll have to try that. Also, I made some granola cereal with toasted buckwheat once and I just loved the crunchiness of the buckwheat. Reminded me a little bit of rice crispies.

I did try the Bob's Red Mill oats since they were on sale at my local Ocean State Job Lot, but they made me horribly ill. I strongly, strongly suspect I have avenin reactions and am going to be checked for it later this month. The discussion on the LiveJournal celiac community seemed to confirm that a lot of people have reactions. So, go very carefully with them at first.

I did the same thing, but my husband in all of his infinite wisdom said, "They should be okay."

No Bake cookies are his favorite and the only food that I think he has ever actually made in his life (he's 47). He made them; they looked yummy and scrumpdelicious.

So...with great worry ate one...then another. My son who is the worst of us ate 2. Then....Nothing. Yippee!!!

But next time, I will buy the ones that say gluten-free on them. :lol:

I tried Open Original Shared Link (rolled oats) this summer and had a reaction to them. I didn't try them again until Christmas when I was craving my favorite child hood cookie, which called for oats, but no flour, so I figured I'd give them another shot. I used them again in the cookies and did not have a problem.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly. This is safe...

      Hello, @Jane02, I take Naturewise D 3. It contains olive oil. Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
